Change the Cycle and Start Making Your Health a Priority

8 Simple Ways to Enjoy an Unplugged Vacation

I’m a firm believer that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the gift of travel. Instilling a sense of wanderlust from a young age is one of the best things we can do for our kids. That’s the number one reason we travel as much as we do. I grew up in a family that didn’t travel anywhere. I didn’t leave my home state until I was 20 years old.

I knew when I became a mom, that I wanted my kids to travel and explore the world even at a young age. In a time that everyone is addicted to technology and their phones or video games, being able to unplug– even for a few days – is priceless.

Get kids to actually enjoy eating fish with these simple tricks!

4 Simple Ways to Get Kids to Eat More Fish

We all want our kids to eat a healthy diet but sometimes that is easier said than done! Both of my kids are picky eaters in their own way but one thing that they both universally love is fish. I credit that love of fish to the fact that we introduced fish into their diets from a young age.  We’ve also made fish dinners part of our weekly menu plan so it was something they were always used to having. Whether you’re looking for some dinner inspiration or just want to encourage your child to eat more fish, check out these tips.  [Read more…] about 4 Simple Ways to Get Your Child to Eat More Fish

  • Do you have a favorite resort at Walt Disney World? We’ve stayed at so many it’s tough for me to pick a favorite. Last November we stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and loved it! The kids loved watching the animals, especially the giraffes 🦒. Our room faced the Savannah and it anytime we were in the room, they raced out there to try and spot the animals. It was such a stunning resort and I cannot wait to stay there again. In a few weeks we’re headed back to our favorite place. To check out all the #WDWFall fun! So stay tuned! 😉 • • • • • • #disney #wdw #disneyhotels #animalkingdomlodge #akl #disneymom #disneyfamilia #disneysmc #disneylife #disneyworld #disneyphotography #disneyig #disneyfamily #disneylifestyle #igdisney

  • #ad Ok ladies, let’s talk periods. Most women hate their period, but for some, heavy periods can impact their health and wellbeing. In a recent survey, 3 in 5 women reported at least one symptom of heavy periods, but more than half of those women (57%) never discussed it with their doctor. It’s time to break the silence. Heavy periods keep women from living their life to the fullest, but there are treatment options that can help. Don’t wait to start the conversation with your doctor.
